I had prepared a speech to talk about my work on encouraging women’s rights around the world—especially in Latin American countries. I was also going to give an inspirational talk about the benefits of being short.

For example, there are many rides at Disneyland that the average adult can’t ride because of their height. In many ways, people of average height are discriminated—so there are many benefits of being short.

This whole day is just one big embarrassment for me. And I had my mind set on some carnitas tacos.

Being short has its benefits you betcha': *You can shop in kids stores where clothes are cheaper,*You do not have to worry if chairs will support your weight,*In a fight you get premium access to the groin,*In dangerous situations rescuers will help YOU first along with kids and women...Probably, Mr. Pope, Latinitas Foundation was at a loss for not letting you give that conference.
